XPS MultiQuant for Windows  version 7.83
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update from versions 7.00 - 7.82 to 7.83


New features:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - When the intensity of the adventitious carbon of an experiment is zero, 
   no contamination correction is applied. 
 - The Parameter Summary window was added. 
 - Older data files (versions 1.x) are no more supported. 
 - New application example.
 - The thickness of a linked layer is entered automatically in the Layer Calculation window.
 - New chapter (Tips and Tricks) in the User's Manual.
 - The Data Wizard was enhanced, a new starting window was added.
 - Noise can be added to the simulated intensity values.
 - The undo features for the cell, row and table editing commands were enhanced. 
   The levels of undo were increased.
 - The order of elements or experiments can be rearranged by drag and drop in the 
   Elements and Intensity windows.
 - Elements can be removed from chart. All omit and visible states can be reset to default.
 - All data file versions supported again.
 - New transmission error messages.
 - The actual values of the terms of the sensitivity factors can be displayed.
 - The energy scale the Elements window, can be temporarily switched to kinetic energy.
 - Selection of parameters of the Gries IMFP calculation method is modified.
 - Cells in the input windows can be edited.
 - The Islands-on-Nanotube model variant was added.
 - The Show homogeneous composition feature was added.
 - Icons were redesigned.
 - Double clicking the Line cells in the Elements window, items of the actually available 
   transitions are rotated, instead of the most frequently used ones.
 - Testing of 'Angle dependent experiment set' was improved. 
 - The Data Wizard was enhanced; parameters of the IMFP calculations are requested, if necessary.
 - The pending error condition is displayed in the status bar.
 - Selection of parameters of the Seah-Dench IMFP calculation method is modified.
 - In numeric cells, either dot or comma typed, always the current decimal separator is entered.
 - Improved data import facility: miscellaneous delimited texts can be pasted 
   without previous modification.
 - The program’s workspace can be saved and restored.
 - Testing of input data was enhanced.
 - New data file version (3.0) with new, robust structure and new file error messages.
 - Transmission files are identified by header line.
 - The cell edit mode is indicated in the status bar.
 - The Split Intensity window was introduced.
 - Undo is implemented for layer thickness and intensity split calculations. 
 - The Applied Corrections windows are sizable.
 - Progress bar is displayed in the Layer Calculation window for long calculations.
 - Different coefficients for scaling Wargner’s sensitivity factors for Mg K and Al K excitations.
 - Limits for transmission file items were changed.
 - Values of index parameters, read from data files, are tested.
 - User defined (Explicit) and None cross sections are distinguished.
 - New data (3.10) and library (4.1) file versions.

Errors corrected:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - In spite of changing the IMFP method of the Homogeneous model, values 
   may be calculated with the originally selected one. 
 - Minor bugs of the Model Layout window were corrected. 
 - An erroneous library item was corrected.
 - New data file version (2.31): the measurement unit is stored 
   when the 'Homogeneous' model selected. 
 - For elemental materials the IMFP calculations by the Gries method 
   may have provided erroneous values due to wrong parameter selection.
 - When clicking the folder icon in the address line of the Open dialog box 
   in Windows 7, the program crashed.
 - A very infrequent window refresh error, causing program crash, was corrected.
 - Positioning of the Data Wizard window was corrected.
 - Selection error of the initial folder of the Open... command was corrected.
 - When the number of (Elements × Experiments) exceeds the maximum number of elements at 
   calculating 'Angle dependent experiment set', the "Subscript out of range" error occurred.
 - Extrapolating the tabulated transmission function, calculated values were invalid.
 - Selection of parameters of the Gries IMFP calculation method is modified.
 - Several minor bugs were corrected.
 - Minor errors of the wizard and the nanotube simulation were corrected.
 - Code was reorganised to prevent redundant error messages.
 - Checking of obligatory elements for island type models was corrected.
 - Several minor error correction and improvement were done in the following areas: 
   data and transmission files, Data Wizard, data displaying and editing, report printing.
 - Testing of experiments at thickness calculations was improved.
 - Oxygen balance calculation is refined.


Installation:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Decompress the ZIP archive into an empty folder
 - Run the 'Update.bat' batch file as Administrator

   OR

 - Copy the following files manually to the folder of XPS MultiQuant
   (default is C:\Program Files\XMQ):  XMQ.exe, XMQ.chm, XMQ.lib, XMQ-Manual.pdf 
 - Copy the data files manually to the sample folder of XPS MultiQuant
   (default is C:\Program Files\XMQ\Samples):  *.mqd, *.mqt, ContactProfile.xls, 
   CermetDocument.doc
 - Set the 'Read-only' attribute of files in the Samples folder 

   Let overwrite the original files


Note:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - XPS MultiQuant is a 32-bit program. On 64-bit systems the default program folder 
   for the 32-bit applications is "Program Files (x86)".
